Reminder - 300 available in HD for 100 MS points

[SamUK]

the offer starts tonight at 12am for 24 hours.

i kno its only a rental but its a good chance for anyone who hasnt seen a film in HD yet.

be interesting to see how long its gonna take to download all 4 or 5 gig of it when the rest of the UK is trying at the same time.

remember tho, you can set your 360 to download even when you turn it off.

I got this film free along with 6 others with my toshiba ep30 hd-dvd and it is a great film, even better in HD on my 50" plasma and 6.1 setup.

Excuse my ignorance but will it be as good as an HD DVD?

Ignorance is bliss.

I down loaded it and watched it this morning.

Ok, I cave, HD is noticably different.

Who's gonna give me a oner for the HD drive then?

Although I'm a little concerned that the HD drive will play through the Xbox component cable where as a stand alone will play through the HDMI which I'm told is better?

Depends on your screen, some screens wont take full 1080p through component. I recommend the toshiba ep30 hd-dvd player, at £189.99 with 7 dvds its great value for money.

My TV doesnt play 1080p it'll play up to 1080i

Use it at 720p then mate, it'll look better!

not 100% true
only real difference between 1080 i and 1080p is the way it refreshes the screen

[mikee66]

there is ZERO visable diff between 1080p and 1080i

Yeah I know that mate, but to the human eye watching it on the media we have atm, 720p will look slightly better than 1080i.

[matt_mr2t]

I did actually change the setting from 1080i to 720 and it DID look a little better I think.
